Nearly 30 new homes for older people are to be created in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire.

CCG has started building 28 homes on the site of former commercial offices between John Street and Muiryhall Street.

The development, which is being delivered for Loretto Housing Association, will feature a mix of two, three and four-bedroom flats, including two properties which will be fully wheelchair accessible.


In addition, the homes will give older tenants a comfortable living environment that is complimented by a private, south-facing rear courtyard, communal garden space and a car park.

Calum Murray, Director of CCG, said: "Muiryhall Road is a development that will be constructed using traditional methods, something that is relatively rare for CCG these days. This is also the second project to have commenced with Loretto association this year after works started on Shawbridge Street, Pollokshaws, in Glasgow's south side this January."

David Fletcher, Director of Regeneration at Wheatley Group, said: "These much-needed affordable homes will make a big difference to the area. I know people will enjoy living in these high-quality, energy-efficient homes which are designed to meet the needs of older tenants."
